It'll work, yes. It won't be operating at 3.0 levels (like that'll make a difference) since the controller isn't native 3.0, but they're all backwards compatible. As for your "reduced speed" question, no 300MB/sec SATA drive...

Only reason I posted it here is most XPS Gen 2 and M170 users still use the Audigy 2 ZS. This is NOT the one most people would use with the 1730, Saif. You need an ExpressCard to PCMCIA adapter to use this card with an M1730. Fair...
